05. Credit Card Bill Laughter

Yoga class notes: 40 Foundation Exercises, point 5: "Credit Card Bill Laughter."

I'm usually pretty good with money. I don't often get a huge shock from a bill. But I did have one experience like that.

One Sunday morning, my husband and I were having breakfast at a fast-food place, enjoying our time together. Then I got a text message showing thousands of dollars in charges on my credit card. I couldn't believe my eyes! I called the bank, but no one answered for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, I kept getting more text messages – someone was using my card! I was so shocked! I felt angry, helpless, and completely blank.

Finally, I reached someone at the bank. Reporting the theft was a long and difficult process. The bank said it would take sixty days to confirm the charges were fraudulent! Sixty days to clear my name!

Thinking back, I went from angry and worried to helpless and just… laughing about it.

Life throws surprises at us. But we can choose how we react. Laugher yoga has taught me to turn bad feelings into good ones. Even with unexpected problems, I can be calmer and more positive. That's one of the best things I've learned in class.

05 信用卡帳單的笑聲

大笑瑜珈課堂筆記, 瑜珈手勢四十項基礎練習中的第五點: 「信用卡帳單的笑聲」. 對於理財, 我算是有點自制能力的人, 很少有那種「帳單金額嚇死人」的經驗，不過, 當我細心想, 確實也有這經驗.

一次, 在週日的早晨, 我和丈夫在快餐店吃早餐, 正享受假日二人的心情, 突然收到了電話的短訊通知, 顯示幾千美元的消費，我簡直不敢相信自己的眼睛！我馬上打電話到銀行, 可是, 連續打電話去, 四十分鐘也無人接聽, 然而, 另一邊我繼續收到短訊通知, 盜賊卻不停的擦我的信用卡, 那一刻的震驚，真的可以用「嘩然」來形容。腦海一片空白，接著是無名火起，還有深深的無力感。 

終於等到銀行有人接聽電話了, 我馬上向他們報告事情, 然而, 整個過程冗長又繁瑣，銀行最後竟然要六十天才確認這畢款項是被盜用的, 六十天後才能還我清白!

回想當時的情景，從最初的憤怒、焦慮，到後來的無奈、苦笑。 

或許，生活總會有一些突如其來的驚嚇，但我們可以選擇用不同的方式去面對。 透過大笑瑜珈，我學習到如何將負面情緒轉化為正能量，即使面對突發狀況，也能以更輕鬆、更積極的態度去應對。 這也是我從這堂課最大的收穫之一。
